Thermal characterization of fire-Protective Fabrics
Thermal Analysis of Textiles and Fibers, 2020Co-Authors: Sumit Mandal, Simon Annaheim, Martin Camenzind, Sabyasachi Gaan, Rene M RossiAbstract:Abstract This chapter discusses about the thermal characterization of fire Protective Fabrics. In Section 21.1, the manufacturing process and uses of fire Protective Fabrics are highlighted. Generally, fire Protective Fabrics are used as raw materials for the manufacturing of workwear for firefighters, oil and gas industry labors, defense personnel, and cooks/chefs. Indeed, the evaluation of fire Protective performance of Fabrics is necessary for providing the safe working environments to these workers. Considering this, different standardized and customized test methods are developed for evaluating the fire Protective performance of Fabrics. In this chapter, these test methods are thoroughly described. By using these test methods, many researchers also evaluated and analyzed the fire Protective performance of Fabrics in the last few decades. In this chapter, their research is critically reviewed for better understanding of fire Protective performance of Fabrics. Thereafter, some key issues related to the fire Protective Fabrics are presented. By resolving these key issues, textile or materials engineers could develop a high-performance fire Protective Fabric, and this Fabric based workwear could provide the better protection and safety to the workers engage in different high-risk sectors such as firefighting, oil and gas industry, defense, and restaurants.

Studies of the thermal Protective performance of Fabrics under fire exposure: from small-scale to hexagon tests:
Textile Research Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Sumit Mandal, Thomas Pitts, Simon Annaheim, Martin Camenzind, Rene M RossiAbstract:This study aims to investigate the thermal Protective performance of Fabrics used in firefighters' clothing under high-intensity fire exposure. The performance of thermal Protective Fabric systems with different physical properties was evaluated under laboratory simulated fire exposure. Additionally, the influence of the configuration of the fire exposure tests and modes of heat transfer through the Fabrics was also thoroughly investigated. The Protective performance was evaluated using the standard small-scale flame [International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9151:1995] and radiant heat (ISO 6942:2002) exposure tests. Additionally, the Protective performance was evaluated under flash-fire exposure using a newly developed hexagon test. The Protective performance values obtained from the small-scale (flame and radiant heat) and hexagon (flash fire) tests were compared and discussed. It has been found that a multi-layered Fabric with high weight, thickness, and thermal resistance can significantly...
